National Geographic does not deceive me; China's "Semporna" is truly not an exaggeration

“China's Semporna” — Pingshan Canyon, with crystal-clear streams and steep canyon rock walls, creates an illusion of boats floating in the air when you travel through it by boat. ✨ Trip Highlights · Floating Boat Experience: On the mirror-like clear water surface, riding a small boat feels like floating in the air, and every shot looks like a masterpiece of the "Sky Mirror." · Canyon Sightseeing Boat Tour: Take a sightseeing boat through the canyon to enjoy attractions like One Line Sky and Moon Viewing Bridge, experiencing the feeling of "boating on water, people traveling in a painting." · Popular Photo Spot: Take a photo with the "Canyon Heart Gesture" inside Nuoyuan Cave to capture romantic moments of your journey. 🗺️ Tour Route Options 🥾 Regular Hiking + Boat Route (Recommended) This is the classic way to tour, allowing a more complete experience of the canyon scenery. · Route: Scenic area entrance → Canyon plank road (descending) → Core attractions (floating boat photo) → Boat through the canyon (enjoy One Line Sky and other sights) → Nuoyuan Cave (photo with heart gesture) → Shuttle bus back · Physical exertion: About 8,000 steps in total, with concentrated stair climbing. · Suitable for: Visitors with decent stamina who want to experience the entire scenic area. 🛥 “Boat In, Boat Out” Route (Less Effort Version) This route saves a lot of energy but misses some scenery only accessible by hiking. · Route: Direct boat ride to the core photo area, then boat back after touring. · Additional cost: On top of the one-way boat ticket included in the entrance fee, an extra 45 RMB boat ticket is required. · Physical exertion: About 5,000 steps in total. · Suitable for: Those short on time, with limited stamina, or families with elderly or children. 🚣 Core Experiences and Activities ✅ Floating Boat Photography · Location: Under the "Soundproof Wall" at the bottom dock. · Cost: 20 RMB per time (about 1-2 minutes); 30 RMB for two people. Commercial photography requires extra fees. · Tips: If you don’t know how to pose, it’s recommended to buy 2-3 sessions to get satisfactory photos. The best lighting is before 11 AM for stunning light and shadow effects. ✅ Rowing Experience · Transparent Glass Boat: 78 RMB per half hour, you can row and take photos in designated areas. · Deep Experience Area: 60 RMB, ride a black canopy boat to the secret water pool, an excellent photo spot. ✅ Canyon Sightseeing Boat The one-way sightseeing boat included in the ticket is the core experience of the canyon, lasting about 30 minutes. Remember to prepare your camera; when passing through One Line Sky, the towering rock walls on both sides create a spectacular view.
